KARIS
Part of me believed I would never come back to this place. Okay, let’s not
be dramatic; I would definitely come back to visit my family, but move
back home and decide to live here? That would have been a big, fat no, but
sometimes God had other plans.
The trees lining Main Street were in full bloom. As I drove past the
town square, a part of me wondered why I had vowed never to move back.
This place had a beauty that drew tourists from all over—especially those
obsessed with ‘Gilmore Girls’ or ‘Hart of Dixie’. Ashwood Falls was your
typical small town with all the cutesy vibes you got from those shows. But
that’s just it. I grew up here and always dreamed of something more. Being
something more. Doing something more. When I graduated high school and
received a full-ride offer to go to college in Kansas City, I jumped at the
opportunity.
I had majored in business and worked part-time at a local bakery. One
of the things my mom had passed down to me was her love for baking, and
for as long as I could remember, I had wanted to open my own shop. I had
big dreams of building my own bakery in a big city where the hustle and
bustle would keep me busy and successful.
The phone call from Dad last week had changed my entire life. I had
been finishing my shift at the bakery where I had been working when my
phone had buzzed in my pocket. Shuffling through the back door and onto
the sidewalk, I had pulled my phone out and had seen my dad’s name and
picture flash across the screen. I had stabbed the answer button and had
started the short walk back to my place.
“Hi, Dad!” I had greeted him cheerfully.
“Hey, Pumpkin,” Dad’s voice had sounded tired and had held a hint of
sadness.
“Is everything okay?” I had picked up my pace as I had approached the
building that housed my second-floor apartment.
“Honestly, Karis… I’m not sure yet. We got some hard news yesterday,
and I think your mother and I are still processing, but I didn’t want to wait
any longer to tell you what was going on,” my stomach had twisted into a
tight knot, causing stabbing pains through my middle.
“Daddy, is everyone okay? You’re scaring me,” the words had felt like
sandpaper scratching through my voice as my mind had reeled.
“A few weeks ago, your mom found a lump in her breast and scheduled
an appointment to get it checked. We didn’t tell anyone because we wanted
to know what we were dealing with before we caused stress and worry to
anyone else.”
My steps faltered at his words. I wasn’t able to find the words, and Dad
must have known I wasn’t ready to respond because he continued as I
climbed the stairs to my apartment door.
“She went in last week and had the lump biopsied, and the doctor called
us yesterday with the results. Pumpkin, your mom’s got breast cancer,”
Dad’s voice delivered the news that sent shockwaves through my entire
being.
